Jammu, April 08:Congress has hit out at the district administration Rajouri for its vindictive ,selective and targeted action against MLA Rajouri Iftikhar Ahmed, who has been most vocal and forthright in his public discourse and discharge of duties as a legislator.
In a strongly worded statement JKPCC Chief Shri Tariq Hameed Karra has criticised the selective and vindictive action of the administration in forcibly encroaching upon a piece of land infront of the compund of the house of MLA at Rajouri, being used and under occupation of his family for over 75 years .
He said that such was the urgency to the district administration that during heavy downpour last evening the directions were implemented on spot to please the bosses at the behest of BJP,who seem to be uncomfortable by the assertive role of Congress MLA in highlighting the genuine issues of people.
Karra said that a family in peaceful & continuous possession of a piece of land for over 75 years , is legally entitled to claim ownership rights over said land under law of limitations and adverse possession but why no notice was served and the party in possession not given right to be heard and due process of law not followed, he questioned ,asserting that the action was illegal and arbitrary & shall be opposed at all forums.
He said such tactics are used only to create fear amongst common people against raising their voice in a democracy, but Congress leaders and workers would continue to raise issues of common people to defend their right to speak.
